Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of solid waste disposal technology, and in particular relates to a method for the efficient and comprehensive utilization of iron-containing dust and sludge. Background Technology
[0002] Iron-containing dust and sludge is a collective term for dust generated during various processes in steel smelting and rolling, as well as sludge from wastewater treatment. It is the most diverse and complex type of waste in the steel production process, with dust being the main component. Due to the presence of harmful elements such as potassium, sodium, zinc, and sulfur, iron-containing dust and sludge cannot be directly returned to the smelting system.
[0003] Overseas, pyrometallurgical processes are commonly used to treat iron-containing dust and sludge, but these involve large investments and high costs, making them unaffordable for domestic enterprises. Domestic steel companies exhibit significant differences in the particle size and composition of iron-containing dust and sludge due to variations in raw materials and dust collection processes. Few companies engage in large-scale treatment of iron-containing dust and sludge, and the technical specifications vary considerably due to the differences in the properties of the dust and sludge. Most methods of disposing of iron-containing dust and sludge involve stockpiling, partial recycling within the smelting system (affecting process parameters), or sale as feedstock. The few treatment processes available generally only target iron, resulting in low comprehensive utilization rates and persistent environmental pollution problems.
[0004] Patent CN 110586318 A relates to a method for the comprehensive utilization of blast furnace ash, employing flotation-cyclone classification-weak magnetic separation-strong magnetic separation to comprehensively recover coke powder and magnetic minerals from blast furnace ash. This method only addresses blast furnace ash and does not mention treatment methods for other iron-containing dust and sludge from the steel production process, lacking adaptability. Furthermore, the use of cyclone classification for particle size separation makes precise classification control difficult. Patent CN 110369119 B relates to a comprehensive recovery process for iron, carbon, and zinc from steel plant dust waste, employing pre-precision classification-strong magnetic separation-gravity separation to comprehensively recover valuable elements such as iron, carbon, and zinc from steel plant dust, producing iron concentrate, carbon concentrate, and zinc concentrate. This method requires highly precise classification in practice, and the use of gravity separation results in low single-unit processing capacity and low separation accuracy.
[0005] In order to achieve the sustainable and healthy development of my country's steel industry, effectively improve resource utilization efficiency, and reduce or eliminate environmental pollution, it is of great significance to conduct research on efficient resource utilization technologies for iron-containing dust and sludge generated during steel production. This research can not only systematically solve the problem of comprehensive utilization of iron-containing dust and sludge and provide support for the sustainable development of my country's steel enterprises, but also effectively reduce the pollution caused by iron-containing dust and sludge during transportation and storage. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies and defects mentioned in the background art above and to provide a method for the efficient and comprehensive utilization of iron-containing dust and sludge.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution proposed by this invention is as follows:
[0008] A method for the efficient and comprehensive utilization of iron-containing dust and sludge includes the following steps:
[0009] (1) The iron-containing dust and mud are stirred, pulped, and screened to separate the slag, resulting in undersize slurry.
[0010] (2) The screened slurry is subjected to flotation-weak magnetic-strong magnetic process or weak magnetic-strong magnetic process.
[0011] In the above-described method of this invention, the undersize slurry after screening and slag separation is directly fed into the beneficiation process in its entirety, without the need for classification equipment such as spiral centrifugal classifiers or hydrocyclones to classify the material before feeding it into the beneficiation process. This simplifies the process flow and enhances its adaptability to different materials. Furthermore, the undersize slurry only requires treatment using either a "flotation-weak magnetic-strong magnetic process" or a "weak magnetic-strong magnetic process," eliminating the need for gravity separation equipment such as vibrating cone concentrators. This further simplifies the process flow. Compared to gravity separation, flotation and magnetic separation equipment have a higher single-unit processing capacity.
[0012] Preferably, the iron-containing dust is one or more of blast furnace dust, machine head dust, and cyclone dust; the blast furnace dust has a carbon content of <30%, an iron content of <50%, and a zinc content of <8%; the machine head dust has a carbon content of <5%, an iron content of <30%, and a zinc content of <1%; and the cyclone dust has a carbon content of <30%, an iron content of <50%, and a zinc content of <1%.
[0013] Preferably, when the iron-containing dust is blast furnace dust, the undersize slurry is subjected to a flotation-weak magnetic-strong magnetic process; when the iron-containing dust is one or more of machine head ash and cyclone ash, the undersize slurry is subjected to a weak magnetic-strong magnetic process. Alternatively, machine head ash and cyclone ash can also be treated using a flotation-weak magnetic-strong magnetic process; the only requirement is to adjust the dosage of collector and frother to the minimum, or even omit them altogether.
[0014] Preferably, the stirring and pulping, and screening and slag removal process includes the following steps: the pulping process involves stirring and pulping iron-containing dust and sludge to prepare a slurry with a mass concentration of 20-30%; the screening and slag removal process uses a high-frequency fine screen or a linear vibrating screen with a screen aperture size of 0.3-0.6 mm, and the screening and slag removal process yields undersize slurry with a mass concentration of 15-25%.
[0015] Preferably, the flotation-weak magnetic field-strong magnetic field process includes the following steps:
[0016] ① The undersize slurry obtained from step (1) is subjected to roughing flotation 1 to 3 times, and the froth products obtained from the roughing flotation are combined into carbon crude concentrate products;
[0017] ②The carbon rough concentrate product obtained in step ① is subjected to 1 to 3 more fine flotation operations to obtain the final fine froth product, which is the carbon concentrate product; the fine flotation operation can be a blank fine flotation operation;
[0018] ③ The products obtained from the roughing flotation operations in step ① are subjected to 1 to 2 weak magnetic separations and 1 to 2 strong magnetic separations respectively. The weak magnetic concentrate and strong magnetic concentrate are then combined to form iron concentrate products.
[0019] ④ Combine the tailings obtained from the strong magnetic separation in step ③ and the in-tank product obtained from the fine flotation operation in step ② into a zinc-containing product.
[0020] The flotation-weak magnetic field-strong magnetic field process of this invention is simple, adaptable, and highly effective.
[0021] Preferably, in steps ① and ②, the flotation equipment used is a flotation machine or a flotation column; in the first to third roughing flotation operations of step ①, the flotation collector used is at least one of diesel oil and kerosene, the frother used is MIBC (methyl isobutyl methanol), the total amount of flotation collector added is 500-1000 g / t of raw material, the ratio of flotation collector to frother added is 2.5:1-5:1, and the flotation aeration rate is 0.2-0.4 m³ / t. 3 .m -2 .min -1 The flotation frother used is MIBC, which features brittle flotation foam with low viscosity, reducing entrainment during flotation and improving the quality of the foam product. Further preferably, the flotation equipment used is a flotation column, which has advantages such as large single-unit processing capacity and high separation efficiency.
[0022] Preferably, the weak magnetic field-strong magnetic field process includes the following steps:
[0023] ①The undersize slurry obtained from step (1) is subjected to 1-2 weak magnetic separations and 1-2 strong magnetic separations. The resulting weak magnetic concentrate and strong magnetic concentrate are combined to form an iron concentrate product.
[0024] ② For the strong magnetic separation tailings obtained in step ①, when the carbon content of the strong magnetic separation tailings is >55%, the strong magnetic separation tailings are directly used as carbon concentrate products without flotation processing; when the carbon content of the strong magnetic separation tailings is >15% and ≤55%, it cannot be directly used as carbon concentrate products, and the undersize slurry obtained in step (1) is processed by the flotation-weak magnetic-strong magnetic process; when the carbon content of the strong magnetic separation tailings is ≤15%, the strong magnetic separation tailings are used as raw materials for making building materials.
[0025] The weak magnetic-strong magnetic separation process is actually configured according to the flotation-weak magnetic-strong magnetic separation principle to improve its adaptability to different iron-containing dust and sludge. In the weak magnetic-strong magnetic separation process, the tailings obtained in step ② are mostly used as raw materials for making building materials, especially when the carbon content of the tailings is <15%.
[0026] In the above-mentioned weak magnetic field-strong magnetic field process and flotation-weak magnetic field-strong magnetic field principle process:
[0027] Preferably, the iron content of the iron concentrate product is greater than 50%, and the carbon content of the carbon concentrate product is greater than 55%.
[0028] Preferably, the weak magnetic separation operation uses an electromagnetic or permanent magnet weak magnetic separator, and the strong magnetic separation operation uses a ZH-type flat ring strong magnetic separator or a Slon vertical ring strong magnetic separator; the weak magnetic separation is carried out at a magnetic induction intensity of 0.15 to 0.22 T, mainly used to recover iron-containing minerals such as magnetite with strong magnetic separation, and the strong magnetic separation is carried out at a magnetic induction intensity of 0.6 to 1.2 T, mainly used to recover iron-containing minerals such as hematite with weak magnetic separation.
[0029] Further preferred, the high-intensity magnetic separation operation adopts the ZH type flat ring high-intensity magnetic separator, which has the advantages of high separation accuracy and high product recovery rate.
[0030] Preferably, during the flotation-weak magnetic-strong magnetic process or the weak magnetic-strong magnetic process, water is continuously circulated within it; when the potassium content in the water is enriched to more than 60 g / L, it can be used as a raw material for potassium extraction. After being processed by a mature potassium chloride crystallization process, a potassium chloride product with a content of ≥90% is finally obtained.
[0031] Preferably, zinc-containing products obtained through flotation-weak magnetic-strong magnetic processes or weak magnetic-strong magnetic processes are used as raw materials for further zinc extraction. They are then smelted using mature metallurgical methods such as rotary kiln methods to obtain zinc oxide products. The resulting kiln slag can be used as a building material raw material.
[0032] The method of this invention demonstrates better adaptability to iron-containing dust and sludge from different sources, with different properties, and different compositions. In actual production processes and equipment configurations, to improve adaptability to various types of iron-containing dust and sludge, a general process configuration based on flotation-weak magnetic flux-strong magnetic flux can be adopted. Simultaneously, the process is designed to be flexible and adaptable, such as… Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This can also serve as a process flow diagram for a specific embodiment. In actual production, depending on the source, properties, and composition of the iron-containing dust and sludge, the process can be switched between "flotation-weak magnetic-strong magnetic" and "weak magnetic-strong magnetic" processes. For example, when the raw material is blast furnace dust, the "flotation-weak magnetic-strong magnetic" process is preferred; when the raw material is one or more types of head ash or cyclone ash, the "weak magnetic-strong magnetic" process is preferred. When directly configuring the general process according to the flotation-weak magnetic-strong magnetic process without switching processes, adjusting the dosage of collectors and frothers based on the actual processing conditions can effectively adapt to changes in raw materials and achieve stable and efficient mineral processing. For example, when the raw material is blast furnace dust, the collector and frother can be adjusted according to the aforementioned flotation-weak magnetic-strong magnetic process requirements. If the raw material is head ash or cyclone ash, it is preferable to add as little collector and frother as possible or none at all, essentially treating it directly through the weak magnetic-strong magnetic process.
[0033] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0034] This invention targets iron-containing dust and sludge, innovatively applying mineral processing technology to the field of iron and steel metallurgy. It proposes a closed-loop process system that can achieve the separation of iron, carbon, zinc, and potassium in iron-containing dust and sludge in a single process, with no waste residue or wastewater discharge, making it an environmentally friendly process. In terms of process technology, efficient flotation and weak-magnetic-strong magnetic separation technologies are combined with mature potassium chloride crystallization and zinc extraction technologies, enabling efficient recovery and utilization of all components of the iron-containing dust and sludge. Advanced equipment and process combinations, effective energy-saving measures, and controlled operating costs result in low product consumption and good economic benefits. The process route of this invention is simple, concise, efficient, and reasonable, adaptable to the treatment of various types of iron-containing dust and sludge, and has strong overall adaptability. The transformation of iron-containing dust and sludge from solid waste to resource utilization truly realizes a circular economy in the steelmaking process, yielding not only good economic benefits but also significant social benefits.
